Abstract

A historical land evaluation method elaborated by Lóczy, D. (2000) is used in the paper to assess physical conditions for land use types characteristic for the Zselic Hills, SW-Hungary, at several time sections. The evaluation is based on ordering the relative significance of typical socio-economic functions for different periods. The evaluation system covers the viewpoints how natural resources determined socio-economic activities and which landscape type, characterized by topography, favoured their development most. - (AM)
